I did that once too, except I was making mass amounts of baby food, and I just kept taking the veggies out as they were done, and not filling the pot underneath. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-managed-to-burn-quinoa#post-1396830 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 21:25:57 +0000 anandam 1396830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A foolproof quinoa option that we've instituted as the standard in our home after DH had a chronic burnage problem - </p> <p>Instead of the typical pressure cooking simmering rice way, we just put the water and quinoa together, bring it to a boil x 5min, then turn off the burner completely, cover it and let it sit x 15min or so. You'd have to forget you were cooking within the first 5min and leave the house for an hour to burn it. :)</p> <p>That said, I often burn butter or garlic because I get distracted while sauteeing and our stovetop doesn't have very subtle temperature control. Did it tonight, in fact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-managed-to-burn-quinoa#post-1396829 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 21:25:45 +0000 JennyD 1396829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: this was beyond burnt! It was like, cremated!!! Almost set off the smoke detector! It was like -20 (C) and we opened the door!</p> <p>Also, you might be a little nutty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-managed-to-burn-quinoa#post-1396804 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 21:10:19 +0000 sslm 1396804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do quinoa in the rice cooker otherwise i would for sure burn it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-managed-to-burn-quinoa#post-1396778 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 20:51:51 +0000 betsyboop 1396778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I burned the crust of the quiche I made yesterday :sad: It wasn't THAT bad so I just told DH that I made it extra crispy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-managed-to-burn-quinoa#post-1396730 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 20:36:12 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1396730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: I like popcorn a little burnt!

I boiled them for over 45 mins :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-managed-to-burn-quinoa#post-1396639 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 20:03:18 +0000 JoJoGirl 1396639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>QUINOA!

Still edible, though. </p> <p>And over the weekend I completely failed at making marshmallow fondant for my niece's birthday cake. I made 3 batches in different colors and the second two came out perfect but the first was like dried out, crumbly play dough, no matter what I did. A problem, since it was to be used to cover a box, not decorations like the other two colors. I ended up having to throw it out and made royal icing instead. Side note: I did learn how to pasteurize eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-managed-to-burn-quinoa#post-1396514 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 18:31:24 +0000 swedishfish 1396514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one else has messed up their cooking lately?
